Name: Christopher Glayden
Age: 16
Race: Human
Appearance:
Personality:
Christopher comes off as cold, rude, and uncaring, and to be honest, he can be. This is largely due to the events of his life, however, and during his childhood he was more outgoing and somewhat cheerful, despite his curse of rememberance. This changed over time and he became the person he is today. A skilled martial artist, he can and will jump into a fight to save somebody despite his constant statements of not caring, or that it isn't his business. Underneath his cold exterior lies the heart of a hero...even if he won't admit it.
He seeks redemption for his past life, and views his power as a curse, loathing the fact that he has to use it even in the defense of others. He doesn't like gods, viewing them as beings that play with mortals as they see fit, with no regards for the consequences of their actions. He despises Keiji most of all, for punishing him in all his lives.
Having had little to no contact with females (aside from one) in his life, Christopher knows nothing about how to properly interact with them, and is often confused while talking to girls. He's also not used to having people help him, having gotten used to getting by on his own for so long, and will constantly try to do things on his own, even if it's impossible.
He views his personal style of fighting as 'too dangerous to use in a friendly spar', and knows another one, but he doesn't like using it because of bad memories.
He hates being called 'Chris', and gets annoyed when people constantly call him that.
Abilities:
Martial Arts:
Christopher is a skilled hand to hand fighter, easily able to hold his own against multiple opponents. His fighting style is, as far as he knows, unnamed, but it is highly destructive due to the glyphs on his body that grant him highly destructive ki. He has two styles, one learned in a military academy, and the other self-taught.
Destructive Ki Glyphs:
Christopher was born with these glyphs covering his body, from his feet to just below his neckline. They grant him an incredible amount of destructive power when activated, but put a strain on his body, and at best, he's rendered unconscious. At worst, his body is broken and it takes him time to recover fully before using them again. He views the glyphs and the power they give him as a curse, and doesn't like using them much unless he's pushed into a corner. The power of the glyphs grows stronger with Christopher.
Ki manipulation:
Christopher has 'normal' ki as well as the destructive ki granted him by the glyphs, and is constantly training to make it stronger so that one day he doesn't have to rely on the power of the glyphs.
History:
Born in San Fransisco, America, Christopher's parents didn't love him very much. They merely tolerated him until he was six, at which point they sent him to a military academy and pretty much disowned him. It was here that he started learning about the military arts, and where his personality began to change.
Though he made friends with the other cadets, he began to distance himself from them, focusing wholly on his training and lessons. He focused on unarmed combat, though he did learn about firearms (and became one of the top marksman of the academy), as well as knives and even swords (the latter being taught to students for nostalgia more than anything). The reason for his personality shift was simple - he had remembered everything from his past life.
On his thirteenth birthday, he had started dreaming about his past life, the start of his curse. Knowing why he was cursed made him desire redemption, and this drove him to train ever harder, to study as best he could, and excel.
Midway through his seventh year at the academy, a General came to inspect the institution. He was highly impressed with Christopher's attitude towards his training, though his cold, uncaring personality disturbed the man. He told the boy that the military could use men like him, if he wanted to join.
Christopher told him that he wasn't interested in being a soldier, but thanked the man regardless - no point in making an enemy of a General. This, however, earned him several enemies within the academy himself, and he found himself the target of constant attack in various ways, with older students constantly trying to pick a fight with him.
He kept driving them off, but their pride wouldn't let the defeats rest, and they kept coming. When he was 15, he graduated from the academy with the rank of Cadet and left, never intending to return. He started traveling the world, using various methods to earn money, including fighting in tournaments around the world.
In Germany, he fell asleep in a hotel and found himself in another world, Mythos. After an adventure there, he continued to travel Germany until he found himself in Ostreignburg, having been called there (though he didn't know this).
Silvia, Avatar of Sheria, met him and brought him to Haven after enlisting him to fight the Drow on Mythos in order to redeem himself - though Keiji had already forgiven him...not that she's told him yet.
He now lives in Haven, and is becoming friends with Laura.
